Something which appears to clear up the problem was a modification of the host.conf file (did i mention this was a base 4.3-release install?)
I changed the resolv.conf file from this: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # First try the /etc/hosts file order hosts,bind # Now try the nameserver next. #bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis To this: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # First try the /etc/hosts file order hosts #order hosts,bind # Now try the nameserver next. bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis Thanks for your consideration.
